About the Program

The BSc Environmental Science Program launched in 1997 and has more than 350 graduates working throughout Alberta, Canada and the world.  We emphasize a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding environmental issues facing society while providing each student with expertise in one of six concentrations .  As such, it is a Non-Departmental Program, administered within the Faculty of Science with links to the Faculty of Arts.  It is designed to be a small program, with some 40 students a year, where hands-on experience is central.

Our Team

We have five faculty members each representing a key discipline in environmental science, an administrative & student programs officer, and a technologist (Directory).  We also benefit from the expertise of emeritus professors, adjunct professors, and other professionals from academia, private industry, governnment, and non-governmental organizations.

Our Facilities

We have a well-equipped lab for analyzing chemical and biological components of our environment.  Priority is given to ENSC undergraduates, but other users may be considered on a cost-recovery basis.  Please contact our technologist for more information.
